Money Finding Guide for Mass Effect 2
by 5il3nc3r/Osgoroth
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
1. Introduction
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
Hi y'all. This guide was made to help you (yes, YOU!) find all the money
available during all those missions. If you've played this game past the
first mission, you know what I'm talking about. But in case you haven't
(why are you reading this guide already?), the money in this game is actually
somewhat hard to come by. You can't sell anything, and you can't loot either
(at least, not outside of missions). The only way to make money is to do
missions, as a reward for completing it, and finding money during the mission.
As far as I can tell, the reward given to you at the end of the mission is
static. That is to say, you will always be given the same amount for that
mission (rewards between missions vary however). And from my personal
experience, the amount of money you find during that mission will usually be
equal to the amount given to you as a reward. I don't know if that's actually
how this was designed, or if it was just a coincidence on my game, but that's
what I think.
I will list here every instance of money, resource, or upgrade that I have
found, in as much of a no nonsense way as I can. If you're looking for an
actual walkthrough, there are already a few up there. Mine focuses on money.
I will also try to keep it as spoiler-free as possible, but I may slip up
once in a while. You have been warned. If you find that I'm not being clear
enough in an area (I'm trying to keep vague directions to spoil as least as
possible), send me an e-mail and I'll try to word it differently.
let me know at:
doum[underscore]charron[at]hotmail.com
Just replace the [] with the actual character. Make sure to mention either this
game or my guide in your summary.
Enjoy.
----------------------------
Important Note:
In my guide, I also list Med Kits/Med Stations/Power Cells Containers, however
those only give money when you're already full in Medi-Gel or Heavy Weapon
Ammo, respectively. Furthermore, that money does not count towards the total at
the end. But since it gives you money if you're already full, I included them
too.
----------------------------
In a few instances, the money found doesn't match with the funds provided by
Cerberus. If you know where I might have missed it, send me an e-mail and I'll
add it in here, with proper thanks, of course.
----------------------------
It is possible that there are some variations depending on the difficulty
level you're playing on (something will be there, or won't, etc.) Those are
out of my control. I listed what I found on my difficulty level. For the most
part, it should be identical though.

8. Pit Fighting
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
Thanks to Craig for reminding me.
When you get to Tuchanka (and any subsequent visit), in the main area (with
the chief), there is a pit to your right before you get to the Scout Leader.
If you interact with the console there, you can place bets on which varren will
win (Blue or Red). The bets are 250 credits.
There is also a "secret". If you go to the merchant, do his discount request
(the shooting mini-game) and he will have some meat to sell for 0 credits
(wha?). Buy it, then go to the varren right next to him. After giving him the
meat, he will like you and will start following you around. Once that's done,
you can bring him to the pit fight and when you go place your bets, you will
have 2 new voting options. you can either bet for or against your new pet,
and each bet is worth 500 credits.
Personally, he won his first 2 fights, then lost his 3rd. Craig only tried it
twice, and he won both times. I don't know if it's scripted or random, or if
getting him to fight a few times then leaving and coming back later resets it
or something. I don't have the patience to mess around with it, and especially
for only 500 credits a shot (or 250 with the regular fighters), I don't think
it's worth spending too much time on it.
(Additional info from Mike.)
Urz just has a high % to win his fights he can win anywhere from 2 to up to 8
fights I've gotten him before he loses. The trick is to save before each
fight if he loses reload if he wins save again. You do this till he loses 3
times from reload then you bet against him leave the planet come back and he's
all healed up. His percentage to win lowers after each fight and resets after
he heals up. So fight him ragged using saves and loads leave then come back...
I've made 5-6k credits per run off Urz....
----------------------------
If you have more specifics about how the fights work (a trick to always win or
something of the sort), e-mail me and I'll add it here, with proper credit of
course.

9. FAQ
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
In here, I will answer any relevant question relating to the game. Any other
questions will be ignored.
Q: When will you post real questions and answers?
A: When I actually receive some.
Q: What's this Eezo you keep mentioning in your guide?
A: Element Zero. They call it like that in the game too. And it's shorter than
saying "Element Zero" all the time.
Q: Why did you make a guide about this? Most of the loot locations are so
painfully obvious.
A: That is true, but not everyone feels like looking in every corner of every
room to find the loot. And besides, the keyword is "most". Some of them are
actually kinda well hidden, and since I didn't want to make a guide only about
those (would have been very short), I figured I'd make it for all of them.
And besides, it can also be used as a guide to where all the anomalies are.
Q: Will I be able to buy everything at the end, or will I need to pick and
choose carefully?
A: (Thanks to Victor and Draccos) It is possible, if you manage to get every
possible bonus money.
Importing a lvl 60 character from ME1: 50,000 credits
Importing a save with the "Rich" achievement from ME1: 100,000 credits
Having the "Long Service" achievement in ME2: 200,000 credits
So if you already beat ME2 once, then import a lvl 60 character with the "Rich"
achievement from ME1, you'll start your game with 350,000 credits. With this,
plus all the money you get from missions and side-quests, it would be possible
to buy everything.
